Dragon Ogre question
Running 3 lone dragon ogre shartaks. Currently they have halberds/heavy armor, but would it work to max out my number of attacks with an extra hand weapon?
Going into 750 point section of an escalation league with this list:
155 - Bray-Shaman, Crown of Horns, General, Wizard Level 2, Daemonology, Jagged Dagger
207 - 20 Gor Herds, Additional Hand Weapon, True-horn, Standard Bearer, Magic Standard, The Gore Banner, Musician
77 - 10 Ungor Herds, Shortbow, Ambushers, Half-horn, Standard Bearer, Musician
95 - 15 Ungor Herds, Shield, Thrusting Spear, Standard Bearer
72 - Dragon Ogres, Heavy Armour, Halberd, Shartak
72 - Dragon Ogres, Heavy Armour, Halberd, Shartak
72 - Dragon Ogres, Heavy Armour, Halberd, Shartak
Not sure how to start
So I want to start writing on ao3, right? I've got a story planned out and everything. How do I... do it? Like, not the writing part, I can do that. But for getting it onto the site, what do I do? Do I write as I post? Write it all at the start then post it once a week? How does tagging work?
My story idea is basically Forza Horizon in the Shadowrun setting. I know I have to tag Shadowrun, but do I tag Forza? And if I don't pre-write everything, how do I go about tagging if I don't know the details of the plot (IE, do I tag T, M, or E? Major Character Death? Creator Chose Not to Tag?)
Like, kind of nervous getting my idea out there, you know?

Trying to find a young adult book (nsfw for trigger warnings)
So there was a book I read in maybe 2023-24 ish, but I know its older. Kid goes on a hike on a hard mountain trail (I think in the appalachians? Definitely US). Meets another pair of boys in a storm shelter. He keeps going, encounters some hiking lodges. They have a challenge to steal a rowing oar from each other. MC's friend died before the hike in a river accident. Kid finds a dog that was being abused. One of the boys from earlier tries to off himself by jumping off a cliff. Hiking lodge kid tries to help by getting the injured friend to a medevac helicopter, but with the crowd he makes up some rule the bystanders are breaking. Somewhere in the story there's a hershey's chocolate bar involved. Maybe skittles or mnms too.
The issues with Directive 8020
Edit: I guess I'm playing a second run! Gotta keep Williams alive...
So, I need to preface with what I enjoyed of S1. I don't have any friends who like the Supermassive/Telltale style of game, so I played the games solo. I loved Man of Medan, Little Hope, and Devil In Me for how grounded they were. When you peel back the facade, everything had a realistic explanation. I enjoyed House of Ashes, but compared to the rest of S1, I think its a bit out of place.
​
Going into 8020, I tried to stay spoiler free. I knew the Curator was quote unquote "missing", but considering how it seemed like his boss was upset with him, I figured it was part of the meta narrative.
​
Honestly, replace the Supermassive logo with the Telltale logo, I bet most people would be praising this game. No, the stealth is not deep. No, the two sided stories aren't a thing. The SM writers nailed this story, but it doesn't feel like a SM game. There's no one to guide the player. There's no references to other SM games (minus the bobbleheads, but I don't have the deluxe edition).
​
My playthrough:
​
>!Stafford died trying to get the landing gear on, Williams was shot in the scanner, but everyone else managed to get on the evac and get to the boost ring. Sadly, the cycle continued...!<
​
Now, I've only played once, but I know the story goes deeper, and I'm sure there are secrets we all have missed referencing the next game/s. But honestly, if this wasn't advertised as a DPA game... I think more people would enjoy it.
Is it possible to hide oceaniac settlements from sattelites?
Doing some worldbuilding, and my setting is roughly modern equivelant (some countries have predominantly non-humans), and one of my nations is mostly seafaring. Using giant ships based on the Freedom Ship idea (one mile long nuclear powered cruise ship), and vaguely based on the quarians from mass effect, I was wondering if there was a way to disrupt sattelite imaging for the ships, or if I go with stationary ocean settlements (like giant oil rigs, but for permanent living). The idea would be to blend the images around the boat/rig together to make it look like there's nothing there.
Pithing Needle vs Mind Stone/The Mind Stone
So, I know the [[Pithing Needle]]-[[Borborygmos]] ruling, but I have a similar question.
Say someone is playing a deck with both [[Mind stone]] and [[the mind stone]], and someone plays a pithing needle naming Mind Stone, but intending for The Mind Stone. I know the original ruling worked because the deck had only the one Borborygmos, but how does it work here?
Nine Inch Nails - Closer lyrics
Tagging nsfw to be safe.
I swear that the chorus to NIN's Closer has changed. I remember it going
"I wanna fuck you like an animal, I wanna fuck you from the inside out"
I never listened to it much, but I have that stuck in my head.
About Ultron
As a colorless player, I hate this. I do enjoy some universes beyond, but I try to keep my main deck purely universes within (right now I just have summon bahamut cause I needed to find a replacement for mana crypt). But... if I want my deck to be on par now, I *have* to run this. I have mycosynth lattice in the deck, and not a lot of legendaries. It just makes sense. Double blinkmoth urn, double crackdown construct to get easier CC + chimeric idol or lightning greaves... I hate this. There is no "just don't play UB" anymore.
